Layer Details
Dynamic support layer
A breathable foam layer just below the cover that helps air flow, regulates body temperature and adds support with a little bounce. It should help you sleep cooler and make the surface feel lively rather than sinking.
Micro pocket springs
A layer of micro pocket springs that respond to your body shape and sleeping position. This gives you a more traditional, responsive feel than all-foam, and the springs help limit partner disturbance.
Memory foam
A temperature-sensitive memory foam that softens when it touches warm surfaces. It moulds to your body for pressure relief, though some sleepers find memory foam holds a little warmth.
7-Zone castellated base
The core is a 7-zone castellated supportive base that allows extra compression. It gives the layers above a stable foundation, with different zones of the base built to support different parts of your body.

Key benefits
- Fits compact rooms: At 90cm wide it leaves floor space for a desk, wardrobe and toy storage, and we suggest only 2.1m x 2.8m of room as a minimum.
- Boxed delivery suits awkward spaces: Rolled and boxed, it can be carried up narrow stairs to a loft conversion or a child's room far more easily than a flat mattress.
- A hybrid feel for growing sleepers: Pocket springs beneath memory foam give a supportive, slightly more traditional feel, which many children and teens find easier to move around on than pure foam.
- Cheap, easy bedding: Standard single sheets and a 135 x 200cm single duvet fit, and they're the most widely stocked bedding of any UK size.
- Practical for guest and spare rooms: In a spare room that doubles as an office, a UK single keeps the desk usable while still giving overnight guests a proper bed.
This size suits you if...
You're buying for a child's room or a teenager, and the bed has to share the floor with a desk and storage. Or you sleep alone in a compact room, a loft with a narrow usable footprint, or a first flat where the frame came with the tenancy and the mattress didn't. It also suits a spare room where two singles are more flexible for guests than one bigger bed.
Consider another size if...
You're an adult who sprawls, or a teen who has already outgrown 90cm of width. The UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.

FAQ's
What size is the Nectar Hybrid Memory Pocket 1600 UK single?
It measures 90 x 190cm, which is 3ft x 6ft 3in. That's the standard UK single, so it fits any standard single bed frame, and standard single bedding fits without adjustment. Allow at least 2.1m x 2.8m of floor space in the room, which is our own guidance rather than Nectar's.
Is the Nectar Hybrid 1600 single suitable for a child's bedroom?
Yes, a UK single is the default size for children's beds, and its 90cm width leaves room for a wardrobe, desk and toy storage in a typical child's room. One caveat: firmness details for this mattress aren't confirmed in the listing, so check the retailer's page if your child needs a particular feel.
Will the UK single Nectar Hybrid 1600 fit a bunk or mid sleeper frame?
The 90 x 190cm footprint matches standard bunk and mid-sleeper frames. The sticking point is depth: raised frames usually set a maximum mattress depth for guard-rail safety, and this listing doesn't confirm the mattress's depth. Check the frame's stated limit against the retailer's specification before ordering.
Can two Nectar Hybrid 1600 singles work in a guest room?
Yes, and it's a flexible setup: two UK singles can be pushed together for a couple or separated for two guests. Each is 90cm wide, so measure that both beds plus a walkway fit your room, remembering we suggest 2.1m x 2.8m as a minimum for a single on its own.
Should a solo adult choose the UK single or size up?
A UK single works for a solo adult in a small room, and the boxed delivery makes it easy to get in. If your room allows, the UK small double is 30cm wider at the same length and gives an adult noticeably more room to turn; we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m of floor space for it.
